| | How to Connect Your Computer to a Hotel Phone |
 | | The basic principal is to connect the modem's LINE jack to the hotel phone's incoming phone line-- the wires that feed the connection to the hotel's instrument. |
 | | The adapter plugs that come with most converter kits, and the transformers sold in most converter kits, are *not* grounded; you may have to run a separate wire from the center screw in the wall outlet in the hotel room, to the wire attached to your 2-prong to 3-prong adapter. |
 | | One line, the line that was at the lower (and therefore safer to touch) voltage, was connected to the connector at the tip of this plug, the other was connected to the ring around the end of it, and the sleeve, or the rest of the plug, was connected to ground. |
